Enlargement of the Electric Telegraph Company logo from the telegram envelope. The sitting figure appears to be the Greek god Chronos, father of Zeus, hurling a lightning bolt. This may be a conflation of both Chronos and Zeus. The Latin motto reads Ne tentes aut perfice. This may be translated in a variety of ways, including, "Do it right, or not at all."
